Rail Context Cheltenham N Stroud is the largest station along the ‘Golden Valley Line’; a meandering rail route connecting A46 Gloucester with Swindon, passing through picturesque countryside and quintessential, romantic landscapes; typical of the Cotswolds. Direct rail services operate approximately once an hour during peak periods, between Stroud and London Paddington, via Swindon, with a Gloucester similar service frequency in a north west direction towards Gloucester and Cheltenham. Since 2009/2010, annual patronage uplift has A419 increased substantially by 28%, with 528,820 Bath J13 M5 users passing through the station in 2017. Under the DfT station categorisation, Stroud is now Stroudwater Navigation classed as ’a busy railhead’ and requires the neccasary provision to manage future demand. Swindon Cirencester Whilst plans for line electrification have yet to be FIG 4: NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN AREA (STROUD TOWN COUNCIL, 2015) confirmed, new longer Intercity trains, with greater passenger capacity and quicker running times, were introduced in summer 2018.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.

    Fosbr Newsletter Number 98 October 2018

    FoSBR Newsletter Number 104 November 2020 (Friends of Suburban Bristol Railways) Another newsletter published during a lockdown... As in the earlier part of this year, the government is advising that people should now stay at home and only make essential journeys, avoiding public transport. During this lockdown, Great Western services have remained unchanged and not reduced - this is welcome. We hope that, as things ease and people start to venture out again, journeys should be relatively low risk - because social distancing remains easy on trains that continue to have low passenger numbers. However, as suspected, the Treasury is now getting anxious about the cost of running largely empty trains and is demanding cuts to services. At the beginning of November, trains only carried 31% of the passengers as at the same time last year and there is concern now that possibly one-fifth of commuters will stay away from rail travel indefinitely. The Times (on 10 November) says "The Department of Transport has told [train] companies to submit plans to make railways more 'financially sustainable' while still providing enough capacity for Covid-safe travel. One rail industry source said that service levels could be reduced to about 80 or 85 percent of pre-pandemic levels". Despite this, we hope that the Government continues to invest in and champion the railway. In the longer term our rail services will need all the support they can get to ensure they don't just survive (in a world that could easily be one of limited funds) but grow - in order to tackle the climate emergency.
